About Linda
Linda Orlando is a Maine-licensed clinical counselor (LCPC) with nine years of experience helping adults manage stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting challenges. She works with people facing relationship strain, career shifts, grief, sleep problems, and attention-related concerns. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals rather than clinical jargon.
Linda uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy among other approaches. She asks about daily routines, what currently feels hard, and what the client most wants to change. Conversations aim to surface small, achievable adjustments that can ease tension at home and work.
Her style treats the client as the author of their life story. Narrative Therapy techniques are used to help people see patterns and reclaim control over how they describe problems. Hypnotherapy is also listed as an available tool for those who are interested in mind-body approaches to sleep, anxiety, and habit change.
Linda has worked across common life transitions and complex concerns like chronic illness, pregnancy and childbirth, and issues related to aging. She also addresses relationship topics such as infidelity, non-monogamous arrangements, and family problems as they affect an individual’s well-being.
Sessions are conducted in English and the practice does not accept international clients. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing what matters most and taking values-guided action, even when difficult thoughts or feelings show up. It can help with anxiety, stress, and living through life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches ways to notice and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing everyday stressors.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting so the person leads the conversation and decides the pace. Narrative Therapy helps people reframe the stories they tell about themselves to reduce shame and increase choice.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try methods that make sense and adjust as progress or obstacles appear.
Confirm current session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, shorten check-ins when needed, avoid travel time, and choose a quieter moment for thinking through parenting or relationship concerns. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises used in ACT and CBT to an online setting so practical skill-building continues between sessions.
